Dear All - I need guidance in my case. Wife left matrimonial home in Sep-2014 and does not want to return. I have 2 kids - one is 5 years (daughter) and other 2 years (son). Wife forcibly left in middle of daughters school session did not enroll her to any school last year. This year in Feb-2015 she is enrolled to a new school. I filed RCR on July-2014 and as of now got 2 dates but wife did not appear. So it seems I will get RCR ex-parte. Some people are suggesting to add a child custody petition along with RCR. Will it be a good strategy to add child custody petition to the ongoing RCR ? Or filing child custody separately, after getting RCR decree, will be a good strategy. My elder daughter is 5.3 months old. I live in Mumbai (matromonial home) and wife is now in Calcutta (parental home). Please Kindly advise. It is little urgent.
